About Virginia
Virginia Hagen is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and eating concerns. She also supports clients dealing with relationship strain, addiction, sleep problems, parenting stresses, and work or career worries.
She began her career as a registered nurse and worked in mental health settings for decades before retiring from nursing. Her background includes in-patient and out-patient mental health care and a personal counseling practice in Crystal River, Florida.
Background and approach
She has long experience working with custody matters and with children who have special needs and ADHD. Virginia combines several therapy approaches to match a person's needs. She uses Existential perspectives to help people face life questions and meaning, attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships, and client-centered work that focuses on the person's own goals and pace.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy for practical change. She completed additional religious studies later in her career, earning a Certificate in Christian Studies and serving as an ordained minister and hospital chaplain intern. Those experiences inform her way of listening and supporting people who want faith included in care.
Her sessions are offered remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She encourages a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly and learn skills they can keep using over time.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy helps people examine life choices, find meaning, and face tough questions about purpose and loss; it can be useful for grief, major life changes, and questions about identity. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships affect feelings and behavior and can help people improve communication and safety in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the person's own goals, giving space for people to set pace and direction in their work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which ideas and techniques to try first. Decisions are collaborative and can shift as needs change during therapy.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats let people fit sessions into work breaks, caregiving routines, or other busy schedules while keeping consistent contact with a licensed professional.
